Hi everyone! Today I have 3 new additions to Pretty Serious' The Museum of Naileontology Collection to share with you!

FingerPaints Masquerade Affair Collection Swatch and Review

*Press Samples*

Hi everyone! Today I have the FingerPaints Masquerade Affair Collection for you which is a limited edition collection that was released this month. This collection contains 4 rich and decadent shimmering polishes which remind me of Mardi Gras.

Distressed Mardi Gras Mani

Hi everyone! I couldn't resist doing another Mardi Gras themed mani! This time, I created a distressed look (once again, following this tutorial from Chalkboard Nails), but instead of finishing it with black I used a foily gold. I started with a base of OPI Thanks a Windmillion. Then I used American Apparel African Violet and Orly Lucky Duck to add the distressed strokes. I finished it off by adding some distressed strokes of Zoya Peterhof Palace (aka Ziv). I thought it was such a lovely combo of colors and the gold topped it off perfectly.

Some fun with my new Olloclip! MACROS! *Cuticles blurred out for the safety of everyone involved.* Ain't nobody wanna see dat!

What do you guys think of extreme macro? LOL! I think it is going to be fun to use to pick up detail in finishes that my camera often fails at picking up. Thanks for looking everyone!

Indigo Bananas A Star to Sail By

Hi everyone! Today I have a super amazing polish for your from Indigo Bananas called A Star to Sail By. This is unlike any polish that I own. It is very hard to capture the bling factor in pictures, but it is the shiniest polish in my collection. It is made up of super shiny silver and gold flakes (along with some holo bits) in a clear base. When it goes on, it looks like you have applied foil to your nails. My pictures may be misleading because it is zoomed in so you can see the texture of the flakes in some pictures, BUT the flakes lie completely smooth and flat on your nail. This polish leans more rose gold than a true gold, which I find very flattering on my skintone. I used 2 coats over Deborah Lippmann Nefertiti for this mani.

 

 

 

Then I decided to do some stamping over A Star to Sail By with a snakeskin pattern. I used Bundle Monster plate 215 and Konad Black polish for my design. I swear this looked like nail strips in real life because the base so reflective and interesting. It definitely didn't look like an effect you could achieve with just nail polish.

 

 

Indigo Bananas polishes are available from their Etsy Shop as well as from Edgy Polish (Sweden) and Mei Mei's Signatures (Singapore). Be sure to follow Indigo Bananas on their official website,  Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter to see many amazing swatches and keep up-to-date on new collections, restocks, etc. Thanks for looking everyone!
